iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

instead of CSDCAS they should just ask hey will you run a classroom out of a broom closet with 60-120 kids of all ages in random groups of 5 while collecting data on their speech/language skills and keeping them regulated and if you say yes then boom you’re admitted

just kidding it will one thousand percent be the encroachment of ABA-influenced goals into speech and language domains! unless it is the lack of effective phonics instruction in early elementary ! or lack of proactive early intervention for DLD (“speech delay”)! Or the freaking 92507 ASHA code! Or…

I can hear the cat constantly gallivanting around committing crimes and it’s making my blood pressure rise, but if I go out in the kitchen then I will see him and his crimes and be tempted to yell at him again & that will be worse (and he is ✨just a baby✨ with zoomies who does NOT deserve yells)

differentiating /ɔ/ from /ɑ/ is kicking my butt right now. 😵‍💫 perhaps my SLP villain origin story will be the cot-caught merger and not the encroachment of ABA into SLP!

my writing style is the scene in @dropout.tv @gamechanger.dropout.tv where the meter thing breaks and Zac Oyama says Oops All Bits? and Sam says OOPS NO BITS except it’s reversed and it’s OOPS ALL SYMBOLISM and no plot

Whenever I read about men using AI to draft love notes for their wives, I feel a seething fury. That is something you could easily have done yourself, and it would have been a million times more meaningful. Technology is training us to be dependent and soulless.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

I legit cannot wait for the mid-terms to be over because I am utterly sick of talking about elections. I am sick of the ads, I am sick of the rhetoric, I am sick of the hypocrisy. Election cycles should not be this long and tortuous.

it’s really hard to be online right now. it’s like little needles in your soul.

& while it may still be a good & even necessary idea for the child to eventually learn how to do the thing or demonstrate mastery of the skill etc, just b/c a solution is research-backed & evidence-based &/or the task is an IEP goal doesn’t mean the “problem” magically HAS to get solved by x date!

000

also, probs preaching to the choir here lol but maybe just maybe, there can be underlying reasons for Child Not Doing Task that *cannot* be easily solved in x amount of time even if someone really wants to solve it! Maybe the kid has a PDA neurotype, something about the classroom envir. is off, etc

you mean a Laminated Visual that you can buy on some RBT’s teachers pay teachers store is not the simple one size fits all, end all be all solution to Kid Of Any Age Not Doing Task? Shocking /s

someone should invent a lower back that doesn’t hurt for no reason whatsoever

I will build the deepest wishing well from the tears upon my kitchen floor, a childhood made of wishes, naïve and superficial… nothing that I’ve asked for has ever been as true as what is coming for me now that I: let the rain fall down, make a brand new crown, let the rain fall…

Someone should invent a way to tell cats how much we love them

it’s riffing of a recent song/album by singer Olivia Rodrigo, “you seem pretty sad for a girl in love”. Probably similar font and imagery.

Oh my gosh heck yes I love this

idk man not to be pretentious but maybe if there’s such an extreme shortage in the workforce/profession these grad schools should be courting me instead of the other way around

000

idk if this is your intent but I am reading this as a deliciously witchy / fairy thing where there are friendly ravens or squirrels or something living in the tree and you give them gifts (instead of humans?)

Instead of CSDCAS they should just ask have you ever joyously scripted with an autistic toddler gestalt language processor and are you used to being overworked and underpaid and undervalued then if you say yes to both they let you go to speech language pathology school

and fear is the brightest of signs, but it’s only the boundary we leave behind, and the safety of shoreline fading away is the first step towards the journey into the unknown.

you’ve read that home can be a person, not a place, but maybe it’s a feeling or something steadier, maybe you’re never quite there but it is a spot you can reach, if you’re just able to look around and see it, to say: I think this is it now. I think this is enough. I think I am enough.

and you are, you are, you are, you are gloriously imperfect and unfinished, unholy, unworthy, unformed, still seeking and searching and singing yet you’re finding something, building it little by little, piece by piece with strange foraged and repurposed bits of straw: a nest. a perch to call home.

they tell you “hope is needed for growing roses in concrete”, so you sit and wonder about the water so long that you do not see: you can bloom wherever you are planted. leave your roots, you are built to connect, interweave, lifting others towards the sun as well, beating wings together, upwards…

you dream that you can fly, then build a cage around your wings, emerge rusty, tired, longing, hungry, full of colors stored for winter, full: joy waiting to explode. the rage, the grief, the guilt, the shame, you finally let it in, you let it grow, and what once rotted, fermented, now is soil.

you, you rosy child, with apple lungs, you breathe with ease, a necklace worn for joy, no longer a talisman to ward off fear. You are improbably, imperfectly, singing and dancing and hoping again. You cross state lines, you hold your head high, and you, you cracked-kintsugi vessel, begin to bloom.
